True HIM Tribute

Posted on February 22, 2019 | 3 minutes | 478 words |

Just a bit moist & slippery – maybe it’s the perfect conditions for Slippery When Wet…. Wow – pulling in the parking lot, Flacco’s light bar blinded & spotted a few good men already there….. & then they just kept streaming in via car, EC run, or rescue boat it seems…. FNG was briefed on the F3 disclaimer 1:1 – he & his dad in for the weekend up from Florida with other family to support Liverpool. [Read More]

Just an Average Day

Posted on February 21, 2019 | 3 minutes | 616 words |

11 pax, including YHC, arrived on time for the Bounty Hunters beatdown. Some may have peaked out the window prior to finalize their decision, but alas, they took that DRP and showed. It was just your normal average beatdown. We got in about 2.5 miles, we did some basic exercises including lots of merkins. We were safe, we stayed together, we mumbled when QIC said things like, “ready, go” instead of “Exercise! [Read More]

Apparently Not Problematic

As YHC was making my way around the gathering PAX, I noticed that several of them were noticeably away from the shovel flag, like they wanted to leave or something. Whatever. You Vesperers just go do your thing. I’ll take the small but mighty group and go do, oh I don’t know…a bootcamp. Here’s what we did: Warmup Jog up Maury O’Dell and to the other end of Bond Park Drive (I think it is) for: [Read More]

It was Sunday evening and I checked Hotspot’s Q announcements and was surprised to see my name. Oh that’s right, Denali asked me to sign up. I got on Strava and looked at segments around Regency and even looked at the Exicon. 3 for the Prerun Warmup - Run over to the big parking lot for SSH, IWs, Merkins, Plank Jacks, and good mornings. Burt helped remind me to say recover. [Read More]

I’d run out of vacation time to get outta town and excuses not to VQ so here we are… Little did I know Dante’s would be hosting the Chipolte Qvergence in support of our brothers Liverpool and Water Wings trip to Peru. 43 HIMs posted on a fine spring morning in February, 3 FNGs taboot! Disclaimer and Pledge. Following the Dante’s Peak tradition we mosey down the circle for warm ups, we hardly fit… nice! [Read More]

FNGs Abound

The PAX recruiting game showed up strong on this A.M. as we had 3 FNGs make their way into the gloom. The Disclaimer was necessary. As I type this I am just now realizing I forgot to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. This is a priority and so I recognize now the men and women who go and have gone into harms way to protect the liberties that we as a United States of America hold as unalienable. [Read More]

Super Bowl After-Party

“Never miss a Monday.” Very popular saying in the Fern setting workout crowds………….except for the Monday following Super Bowl. IT must be the same for F3, because I seriously doubt that anyone is intentionally avoiding my Q’s. Right, Shutty-Cakes. A whole touchdown worth of people. Only 17 people short of the total amount of points scored by my beloved Wolfpack on Saturday. Word on the street is they were out late shutting in down at East Village Friday night. [Read More]

Peek at Google maps + Skipping EC for Recon = An excellent plan for SWW. Term Paper didn’t let me off thaaaaat easy though! Props for that EH into a .8 mile EC to catch the EC 6. Here we go! No FNGs (but a few new faces for YHC). FOLLOW ME. Quick lap around the parking lot and weave through the basketball court to the greenway entrance lot. Circle up for: [Read More]

Upon checking the weather last night, I posed the ‘more PAX than degrees Fahrenheit challenge’ to the Twittersphere. This ended up being way closer a proposition than we thought it’d be! 25 > 22. With our strong crew of 8, take a lap around the parking lot, and venture into the park. Pause for a warmup consisting of 10 x GM (here comes Pivot) 1 penalty burpee 10 X IW [Read More]
